The recruitment for the program is no longer open.

 

If you are interested in studying at WSB in the next recruitment period, leave a contact.

We will notify you about the possibility of re-admission to the studies you are interested in.

 

 

The programme is the result of cooperation between WSB Merito Universities from all over Poland.

 

You will gain new knowledge and skills, thanks to classes delivered in a hybrid format. Some of the classes will be held in the traditional form in lecture halls, and some will be held online on the MS Teams platform. You will attend classes according to a fixed schedule of conventions.

 

Classes are conducted in English. The necessary knowledge of English by the participants of the classes: at least at the B2 level.

Participants:

 

Studies are aimed at those working in or wanting to work in international, multilingual environments, i.e.:

  • architects, MEP engineers structural engineers and surveyor engineers.
  • design and construction managers, team leaders,
  • investors’ representatives from public and private sectors.
  • facility managers representing building owners in different sectors and organisations managing buildings and infrastructure.
  • other professionals looking to expand their knowledge of BIM.

You will learn how to:

 

  • define BIM strategy in multinational organisations
  • prepare for BIM standardization
  • create key documents to support BIM processes,
  • use tools to help coordinate and manage information
  • build teams and conform to collaboration rules
  • coordinate & validate BIM models on different stages of information delivery
  • exchange data using open BIM standards

Main goals of the study

  • preparing participants for a position of BIM Manager/BIM coordinator in international entities, on a designer’s, contractor’s or client’s side.
  • broadening knowledge of BIM tools and processes
  • preparing participants for active involvement in project procurement and execution in an international environment, in accordance with multinational norms and standards (i.e. ISO 19650)
